PROGURED: DIAZ’S ELECTION State Department Tries | To Deny Legation Order | WASHINGTON, March 15. — For being “indiscreet” about making the statement that he had been instruc- | ted by the state department to make sure of the election of Adolf Diaz as | president of Nicaragua, Lawrence Dennis, third secretary of the Amer- | ican legation at Managuag has been | severely criticized by the authorities | here. | The official “denial” was made by | Acting Secretary of State Grew; | is not expected that a shake-up will | take place in the Division of Current | Information which is the. technical name for the publicity bureau of the U. S. state department ' Thin Defense. Administration officials in the state department who have been specializ- ing in the Nicaraguan war, said that they could not “remember any such instructions,” and declared that if any such document existed, “it was prob- | ably a forgery.” According to the report, the docu- ment was received at Managua in the American diplomatic pouch. Just how | a forged document could get into the pouch is hard to understand, since the official mail is ordinarily carefully guarded, | Reckless Expense. There is a hint that the document | may have been “of Mexican origin,” smuggled into the pouch through some | leak, but no responsible official is | prepared to stand for such a flimsy statement, which admittedly requires | a long stretch of the imagination. Senator Borah said today he ex- pected to examine Dennis shortly with | a view to finding out just what in- structions he did receive from the state department. Ten Thousand Foreign Investors Complying With Mexican Statute MEXICO CITY, March -13.—Over 6.000 forecien investors have regist- ered their properties in accordance with Article 27 of the Mexican Con- stitution, which has ‘caused such terror among those American capi- talists whose titles to property in Mexico are felt to be somewhat | dubious. Immigration Surplus Emigration from Mexico in 1925 is figured at 81,757 persons accord- | ing to Mexico’s National Statistical | Bureau as against an immigration of | 127,336. While the net gain in Mexico's favor is 15,579, the fact that this figure includes Mexicans return- | ing to the country after seasonal | work in the United States must, be | taken into account. | Health Education The Department of Public Health} in Mexico is carrying on a widespread | health campaign throughout the Re- public. By means of lectures, bulle- tins, the radio, newspaper articles, | and enormous colored posters with | action pictures and large lettering, | the most elementary lessons in health are being taught to the people. Borah Writes Critic His Opinion of Those Who Want MexicanWar WASHINGTON, , March 13. — “I haven’t the slightest doubt but what there are powerful interests which would like to’ see a/complete break | with Mexico, and as a distinguished | representative of the oil interests | has declared, to see Mexico Cuban- | ized,” declared Senate Borah in re-| plying to Guy Stevens, director of the Association of Producers of Pe- | troleum in Mexico. Stevens had written to Borah tak-' ing issue with the latter on the Mex- ican oil question, especially of the | senator writing to President Calles | of Mexico, asking for information | about the oi! laws. | WHITE AUSTRALIA ENCOURAGES SLAVERY OF BLACK WOMEN IN NEW GUINEA COLONY ty W.

H. KING American-Made Official Resents Expose WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13. —Because he has pointed out that Haiti has no government of its own but is ruled by General Russell of the United States Marines, Senator Wil- liam H, King will be excluded from Haiti by Louis Borno, so-called presi- dent of Haiti and puppet of the American sugar interests and of the National City Bank. King’s resolution introduced in the sénate May, 1926, opposing further American intervention in Haiti, his attacks on Borno, who, according to the Haitian constitution is ineligible for the presi y, and the fear that his presence in Haiti would ‘create! 1 feeling of unrest and in- among the natives are cited ‘by Foreign Mini ‘amille Leon as the reasons for King’s exclusion. That the Haitian government has been set up by the United States and 4hat Borno and Leon are the puppets) of American interests has been point- ed out by Senator King on a num- ber of oceasions. General Russell,| who has ‘been clothed with the ev-| phonious title of “High Commis-! sioner and Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Uni- ted States to the Republic of Haiti,” ) and who has been appointed by the} president without the consent of the senate is actually in control of Haiti, | King declared in a speech in the sen- ate. Precedent for Diaz. It is unlikely that Secretary of State Kellogg will protest the exclu- sion of Senator King. The action of the Haitian figure- head government may serve as a pre- cedent for puppets like Diaz of Nic- aragua to bar senatorial investi- gating committees from Nicaragua and other Latin-American countries. Senator King is at present in Porto Rico. He proposed to visit Haiti to investigate conditions there. Fresh Human Skulls Sent Thru U. S. Mail, Then Thrown on Dump HARTSDALE, N. Y., March 13.— The police here today were investigat- ing the finding of two fresh human skulls, which were found on the side- {walk in front of the bank building here late yesterday. A check is being made in an effort ° to determine Where the skulls came from. They had béen wrapped in a |Philadelphia newspaper, and bound around again with heavy wrapping paper. The package apparently had come through the mails, as it bore a | Connecticut postmark. Although the mark was almost obliterated, investi- gation showed that the package had been mailed either from Norwich or Norwalk, Conn. ‘Hungarian Liberal Is Sued In Court For Bond Dealings Count Anton Karolyi, of Rumania, | | was sued in the Brooklyn Supreme | Court today by the Austrian Central Oredit Bank, of Vienna to recover | | $46,919 which the bank alleged was due as a result of the count’s finan- cial dealings’.

MME. BORODIN AND HER SON Mme. Borodin is now held prisoner by Chang Tso-lin’s forces at Tsinanfu, China. She was arrested, with three diplomatic couriers going to the Chinese Nationalist Government, on the steamer Pamiat Lenina. This ship flies the flag of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, and is therefore neutral terri- tory. Her arrest is in violation of all international law, and has resulted in a strong note from the All Union government to the Chinese government at Pekin, controlled by Chang Tso-lin. Mme. Borodin’s husband is adviser to the Kuomintang. British papers have hailed her arrest as a great victory for the imperialist forces in China.
